FAQs

Will I need to sign a contract?

Only if you go for a pay-monthly or long-term SIM deal. Prefer flexibility? A 30-day rolling plan keeps things simple.

Can I get an iD Mobile SIM-only deal with poor credit?

It depends. Pay-monthly and long-term SIM deals need a credit check. But pay-as-you-go and 30-day SIMs usually don’t.

If I get an iD Mobile SIM-only deal, can I keep my current mobile number?

Absolutely. Just text PAC to 65075, give the code to iD Mobile, and they’ll handle the switch for you.
